Samsung has done an excellent job when it comes to foldable devices. In the last few years, foldable phones have grown in popularity, especially in Europe and China. In the US, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are arguably the best foldable phones on the market and currently the latest and greatest from the lineup. However, that doesn't mean the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are no longer worth the investment. These are still great devices and they still need protection from drops and scratches. That means the next thing on your shopping list should be a good Galaxy Z Fold 4 case. 

We haven't had the chance to test all the cases on this list just yet, but we can draw on our experiences with Z Fold 3 cases from some of the same brands, even if those cases won't fit the Z Fold 4 model. As more Galaxy Z Fold 4 cases hit the market, we'll be checking them out and updating this collection accordingly.
